[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]800k condo on the far end of H street? You have to be out of your mind. Seriously. Buy a rowhouse in Shaw or Cap Hill for that budget. [/quote]

Getting a rowhouse on Capitol Hill for under $1M is almost impossible and it doesn't have anywhere near the amenities as H Street - high-end restaurants on a strip, Whole Foods and Trader Joes on the same street, awesome neighborhood stores.

I don't have any problem with CapHill I just don't see the features I see on H Street. And Eastern Market is nice - but the interior food/produce options are really disappointing and the exterior is mostly an arts & crafts fair.

Shaw is a possibility but I can get more for my money on H Street. Old 2-bedroom condos are going for $700K on average in Shaw and they're almost always less square feet. Brand news one start at $830K and go up to $1.7M. Again - minus a bedroom and not as nice fixtures to be perfectly frank.

There is a a Trader Joe’s literally across the street from Eastern Market and Capitol Hill has its own Whole Foods south of Garfield Park. Far more restaurants than H Street and better retail (game store, kitchen store, two bookstores). More metro accessible. H St is great and yes it is definitely cheaper but it does not have more amenities than the Hill.[/quote]

H Street has a great bookstore and Union Market (so just north of H) has another. I’m not saying the Hill isn’t great—I consider it all part of my neighborhood—but H Street and Union Market together have at least as much good retail as the Eastern Market/Barracks Row version of the Hill. [/quote]
